Pros

The company cares about the happiness of its employees especially during these hard times. They make an effort there so that's really nice. Before COVID the remote working policy was very flexible which helps if you have a family or pets. When you get a project or task, you can work on it to the level of quality you want. That can be both good and bad depending on who you are.

Cons

It doesn't seem to bother the leadership team about inefficiencies. Too many people have admitted to working at Moz because they know they can float. Some managers don't know what they are doing and spend more time and energy avoiding work and spending company money than actually doing their job well. It's like a big game to them which makes it much harder for their reports who have to pick up the slack without any direction. I don't feel comfortable bringing this up to HR because these managers must be friends with HR or the leadership team, otherwise why would they still be here if what they are doing is so obvious and unethical. I will just hope they read this.

Thanks for sharing your feedback. It goes without saying that we wish you were having a more positive experience at Moz. The entire e-team has read this review and we discussed it earlier this week at our meeting, as we typically do with all negative reviews. We all agreed that it would be very useful to understand more about your concerns. Are you comfortable reaching out to someone on eteam or anyone on the People Operations team? We don't want you to feel this way and would welcome the opportunity to listen, learn and address your concerns. Thanks for giving it some thought.

Pros

Strong company culture that values innovation, collaborative teams with smart colleagues, access to cutting-edge SEO tools, supportive leadership that encourages learning, and plenty of opportunities to work on impactful projects.

Cons

Processes can feel slow at times for decision-making, workload spikes during product launches, some departments operate in silos despite efforts at alignment, compensation could be more competitive for the industry, and remote work policies were occasionally inconsistent.
